We enjoyed reading Kathie Williams’ observations. Her comment, “Mr. Goose is
still waiting for his family to hatch. Mrs. Goose is sitting on the same nest
she had last year,” came to mind today, Father’s Day, when we are writing this
letter. We have observed what good fathers geese are (we humans can learn from
them).

Kathie goes on to say, “Speaking of geese I heard Pine Lake is allowed to
shoot one goose every day until they get the idea of staying away from the big
lake…” “Guess that many geese can really be a problem.” It is our understanding
that geese cannot fly away when they are caring for their families.

There are humane methods of control. Help is available on
www.canadageese.org . They have a
section called “Canada Geese as a Suburban Wildlife Issue.”
